Here's a little New Year quiz I made for my Facebook page Haiku Hole.

Below are 15 well known films with their plot or premise condensed into haiku form. All you have to do is name the film. I'll be posting the answers on Facebook on Wednesday, but I'm sure you lot will work them out much sooner than that.

Have fun :)

20 minutes for 15 haiku, not too bad, but I bet it can be beaten. :)
